Customer Type: Fitness Buff
If your target market is loves physical fitness, the best products will be the kinds they can use at the gym or group fitness studio.

Those who prefer to spend their weekends with outside activities (hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, surfing) might get a lot of use out of these lightweight cinch-up drawstring backpacks. They are great for keeping your hands free when you still need to take a few things with you, such as on bike trips and shorter hikes. If your customer are interested in watersports, you could even try a waterproof bag like this one. If they’re into golf, there are plenty of options available: balls, tees, golf towels and even umbrellas.

If your ideal customer is conscious of their impact on the environment and is committed to green living, it’s hard to go wrong with a nice, reusable bag for groceries or other shopping. Choose a big bag that they can use to carry groceries, like this one, or a sturdy canvas bag like this that will look great hanging off their shoulder. Another cool idea is a personalized GrowPot EcoPlanter — your customers can use these to grow their own herb gardens.

You can choose from among cheese knives, pasta and salad serving tools, knife sets, or even a bamboo barbeque tools set.
